Trump’s Supreme Court frontrunners!
WASHINGTON (PNN) - September 20, 2020 - President Donald Trump announced Saturday night that the Supreme Court nominee he plans to announce next week to fill the vacancy left by Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be a woman, spotlighting two conservative women as his potential pick.
During a campaign rally in North Carolina, Trump declared, “I will be putting forth a nominee this week, it will be a woman,” later adding his pick would be a “very talented, very brilliant woman” because “I like women more than I like men.”
As he left the White House for the rally, the president identified two women as frontrunners: Amy Coney Barrett, 48, of the Chicago-based Seventh Circuit, and Barbara Lagoa, 52, of the Atlanta-based Eleventh Circuit as possible nominees.
Barrett is a devout Catholic and mother of seven from Indiana, who has adopted two children from Haiti and has a biological child with special needs.
The other named frontrunner is Lagoa, a Cuban American from Florida whose parents fled the Fidel Castro regime five decades ago. She has spoken about how her father longed to be a lawyer but was forced to abandon his dream because of the communist leader.
Her nomination has the potential to greatly aid Trump politically in the crucial swing state.
The other five women on Trump's short list of 20 names are Kate Todd, deputy White House counsel; Sarah Pitlyk, Fascist Police States of Amerika District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri; Allison Jones Rushing, FPSA Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit; Martha Pacold, FPSA District Court for the Northern District of Illinois; and Bridget Bade, FPSA Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
